About the author
Ben Gruagach
7 books3 followersBen Gruagach is an eclectic Wiccan practitioner who has been active in this spiritual path since the early 1980s. He has worked as a solitary and with a number of different Wiccan groups in both Canada and the United States. Ben lives in Amherstburg Ontario Canada with his same-sex spouse.
His Wiccan philosophy is based largely on the work of Doreen Valiente, Stewart and Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone, Ray Buckland, Raven Grimassi, Fred Lamond, Sybil Leek, and Scott Cunningham. He also draws from the work of Starhawk, Victor and Cora Anderson, Paul Huson, Jean Houston, Lupa, Taylor Ellwood, Jan Fries, the Cultus Sabbati, and Mike Howard. He considers Brian Froud to be a true artistic visionary.
Ben sees Wicca as an Earth-revering magickal religion based on the idea of balance, worship of both a Goddess and God, celebration of the eight annual sabbats and monthly phases of the moon, and the idea of deity as immanent as well as transcendent. His personal ethics are guided by the Wiccan Rede: “An it harm none, do what you will,” and the Principles of Wiccan Belief. He considers the Charge of the Goddess to be the closest thing Wiccans have to a universal holy text.
Above all, Ben sees the diversity within Wicca and the Pagan community to be our most valuable strength. Diversity is the Way of Nature!
